By construction. Please tell me what's off.

Master study of a Franklin Booth illustration, but using a mechanical pencil. Booth was unmatched with pen and ink (and fabrics). I would self-assess my effort a "fail" on the fabrics, and plan to try harder to understand their magic juju in the realm of line-art. Booth and Dana Gibson were contemporaries, and while it may have been the Golden Age of Illustration, it was clearly also "The Age of the Big Complicated Hair-do".

I would like to know how the two-point perspective grid "ticks" along the left and right side of the page were constructed.

There was no reference for this (purely imagination + a pencil), but I felt it ended up looking like I was sitting in on a 1950s Life Drawing class. Serendipity!

This is a fun course, I am really enjoying drawing along. you make it look very easy. I definitely need to soften my touch with the willow, it works fine for the warm-ups but I am struggling to draw with it. the attached have been mainly using compressed charcoal pencils which have created a dirty look instead of smokey.

An original composition. Scritch-scratch with a dip pen plus some brush-pen background.

In the style of John Tenniel's Alice in Wonderland illustrations.

What is a cheek!? I mean...really! How far back from the bridge of the nose are the eyes in profile? Nobody gives you a measurement for that. And for that matter what's up with that band of flesh near the bridge of the nose? How sloped is the female forehead? These details drive me bonkers.

2023/6/14. Good morning everybody. Here's my latest illustration (it's a concept for a card game). Thanks for your comment and advice. For the timelapse video click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLHHOZAhLoU

What method is this fella using to construct the eyes and nose? https://twitter.com/i/status/1668670727589953536
